New pictures and clips for altra schaffhausen
For the other than Schaffhausen Filming and taking photos is something very special for me. I have been creating a large proportion of the pictures for this great institution for seven years now. Of course, I meet the same people every now and then. This is always a great pleasure (I hope for both parties ;-)). In the last few weeks I have been traveling intensively with Brigitte Zimmerann from altra.
The style of the images is always very similar so that a corporate style can be recognized in the photography: the employees look happily into the camera and the images have a very small focus area. Practically all images are taken with the Leica SL2 and the Summilux SL 1.4/50 mm at an open aperture.
Basically, I take photos in color and then convert some pictures to black and white for myself. There are photos that I think look better in color and others look better in black and white. But there are also pictures that look very good in both black and white and color - probably with different charisma, but both are great. So here are my favorite pictures in a color and a black and white gallery:

A few making-of impressions
Katrin Baumann from altra Schaffhausen accompanied Brigitte and me on part of the shoot this year and took pictures for altra's social media channels. A big thank you to Katrin for allowing me to show some of her pictures that will give you a look behind the scenes:
The film clip
For the homepage of the altra homepage, I filmed a number of employees at work. After a few seconds they look into the camera and give the viewer a smile. The film runs in the header of this blog post, below or on the altra homepage.
